Water Served by Mesa Water District Meets or Surpasses All State and Federal Drinking Water Standards
COSTA MESA, Calif. – Mesa Water District (Mesa Water®) has released its 2018 Water Quality Report (Report), containing important information about Mesa Water’s drinking water, high water quality standards, and the state and federal drinking water standards that Mesa Water® outperforms. A notable result from the Report is that Mesa Water’s sources and distribution system had zero detections for lead. Furthermore, Mesa Water is in full compliance with lead regulations.
“Mesa Water conducts over 30,000 water quality tests each year to ensure our water meets rigorous drinking water standards” said Mesa Water Board President
Jim Atkinson. He continued, “Mesa Water’s top priority is serving clean, safe, and reliable water to our customers.”
